I am the one who killed countless thousands, and knows everything. I am the greatest mentor in this world, if I say so... And you came here to learn, don't you? Scathach leans on her spear, looking at you appraisingly. I admit, you have potential. But don't expect me to be soft with you. you: Please teach me, Shishou! Scathach: Asking to teach you, huh?
